NASSR 2018: Open

June 22 - 25, 2018 / Brown UniversityAnnual Meeting of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism​

NASSR 2018 will meet on the Brown University campus in Providence, Rhode Island, June 22-25.​The conference organizers have decided to not have a topic for 2018, thus keeping NASSR decisively "Open." Thisindicates our receptivity to a broad range of proposals for papers and sessions, but also our more specificinterest to not prescribe any theme or concept in advance, thus extending the question of romanticism’s“open-ness." We welcome interdisciplinary and comparatist approaches, as well as scholarship innon-English literatures and cultures. This might include work on: circulation, translation,and reception across boundaries; forms of cultural exchange and their policing;challenges to aesthetic, political, historical, discursive borders; criticalengagements with race, gender, sexuality, and class; reopened questions of bodies and technics, reproducibility anditerability; various figurations of infinite, open-ended potentiality...
